The stats you refer to are pretty clear that he is. I think you need to re-read my posts. They say the opposite to what you think they say.

Honestly, I really don't understand why you keep insisting that Hojberg is not a ball winning midfielder - he's one of the best in the league! I know he's not everyone's cup of tea but quoting stats that back the very thing you're arguing against is just bizarre!

Not sure if there was any substance to it, but exactly the signing we should be making.

Saint_clark Posted 23 July, 2020 Posted 23 July, 2020 LeG, can you at least let us know the timeframe of when we can expect announcements. Before the last game, in the week after it or beyond? Surely they want to announce them sooner and get some more season ticket sales or shirts with names on the back if one is really good.
Nolan Posted 23 July, 2020 Posted 23 July, 2020 To be fair. If rumours are true we'll be down Yoshi, Danso and Vestergaard, compared to the start of last season. We'll need two...

Dusic Posted 23 July, 2020 Posted 23 July, 2020 Probably one of the new Academy scholars. As if we would sign Salisu and another CB of the likes mentioned above. We don't need 4 who all expect to be starting. Plus we still have Vestergaard currently. Our 4th CB to replace Danso will be someone cheap, young and who knows they won't play a lot, not a £15m signing.
saint lard Posted 23 July, 2020 Posted 23 July, 2020 New contract for Bertrand and KWP signing a permanent contract. SFC Twitter May have just given a clue?
labibs Posted 23 July, 2020 Posted 23 July, 2020 Sims isn’t good enough IMO. He had a good game against Wolves last season - then kind of threw his chance away. When offered on loan - couldn’t even get champo clubs interested and had to go to USA. Let him go and play somewhere and build a career for himself. if Boufal goes, then I guess we just replace with Tella. However if the rumours of Ollie Watkins having an £18m non-promo release clause are true (and assuming Brentford bottle the play-offs) I would like us to try and scrape that together. We can loan out Obafemi to make room. Watkins can play through the middle or wide.

Suhari Posted 23 July, 2020 Posted 23 July, 2020 (edited) Where did the idea of 2 new CBs come from? Do we know LeG's post referred to another CB? Edited 23 July, 2020 by Suhari

Saint Matty 76 Posted 23 July, 2020 Posted 23 July, 2020 Has LeG suddenly become one to believe? I know he's posted brief snippets in the past but didn't know him to be clued up transfer wise, thought that was just kbilly & guan. Not meant as a dig or anything.
Saint_clark Posted 23 July, 2020 Posted 23 July, 2020 Malang Sarr looks very interesting. Whoscored rates him highly - using his stats - at holding onto the ball, passing and intercepting. As a free agent could be an efficient use of funds as well, freeing up the transfer budget elsewhere.

S-Clarke Posted 23 July, 2020 Posted 23 July, 2020 Didn't realise we'd been linked with Sarr, he's a good player. Had some top clubs circling him over the last few years, don't think he developed as much as it was expected though - he was supposed to be a superstar a few years back.

Suhari Posted 24 July, 2020 Posted 24 July, 2020 Be interesting to know if we're looking at 2 x starting CBs. I'd guess no. Maybe a younger player as backup? An 'old pro' as backup/experience in the dressing room (although I that would be a departure from our norm of course).
Saint86 Posted 24 July, 2020 Posted 24 July, 2020 Surely one of the defensive signings is a right back?!?! 1 hour ago, hypochondriac said: It's two defensive signings for definite.
Danbert Posted 24 July, 2020 Posted 24 July, 2020 I'm guessing it'll be someone who can play across the back 4, like Danso. Ralph likes a tight-knit squad.
